Chapter 226: Joining the Great Chu to plot the Song Rebellion
Murong Yu sighed and said slowly, "I said everyone, why are you embarrassed at this time, it turns out that you are treating us as eagle dogs." After a pause, he continued, "Although we are not as good as you, but we also disdain to be in cahoots with the eagle dogs of the imperial court, since I am not welcome here, question our identity, and ask Brother Zhang to look at the friendship between you and me, don't be embarrassed, give it a convenience to the next down, let the next leave, and lest Brother Zhang be accused of fornicating with foreign enemies in the future, in that case, the little brother will be speechless and become a sinner." ”
Murong Yusheng was speaking correctly, acting like a person who couldn't stand it, and he shook his head and resolutely refused to agree.
Zhang Mengxian glanced at Yang Yao embarrassedly, Yang Mi's expression was extremely calm, and he turned around and continued, "What did the little brother say, the emperor also looked at your talents, and he was tempted. Please also ask the little brother, for the sake of the elder brother's face, and take care of it. ”
"Since Brother Zhang has spoken, I am not an unreasonable person, and I can treat this matter as if it did not happen. Murong Yu said slowly, "If Brother Zhang really treats me as an eagle dog of the imperial court, I naturally don't want to stay here, and I ask Brother Zhang to forgive me." ”
"Little brother's words are serious, since I dare to bring my little brother back, I naturally have to take responsibility for your safety. Whether it's the temperament of the little brother or the person of the little brother, I can trust it. Zhang Mengxian said with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect these two brothers to be so superb, which really surprised me." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the two people guarding Murong Yu's side, and he said slowly, "If the little brother is willing to join us and fight against the soldiers and horses of the imperial court with us." In the future, you and I will be good brothers, as long as we have my good wine and meat to eat. My brother guarantees that as long as my brother lives on this Dongting Lake for one day, he will definitely have a bite of food for you. Of course, if the little brother is really unwilling, I will not force the old brother, and I will personally send you away immediately. ”
After a pause, he looked at the people who did not speak, and said again, "At present, Emperor Song completely ignores state affairs, is mediocre and incompetent, and is a traitor in the court, controlling the government, framing Zhongliang, excluding dissidents, and forming parties for personal gain. tyrannical and unreasonable, tyrannical expropriation, resulting in the people's misery. There are many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, natural disasters and man-made disasters are frequent, and the people are miserable, and the emperor of my Great Chu State is now deeply popular with the people, conforming to the way of heaven, and I hope that the little brother can join my Great Chu State and conspire with my brother to achieve great things. ”
Murong Yu didn't refuse, this was exactly what he was planning, but he didn't immediately agree to Zhang Mengxian's request, he just smiled slightly and said slowly, "My brother looks up to me and gives me face." Let me consider this matter. He knew very well in his heart that if he really agreed to Zhang Mengxian's conditions immediately, it would make people feel a little deliberate.
Zhang Mengxian said with a smile, "If the little brother is willing, I am willing to resign from my current position to Xiangye and give it to the little brother, I wonder if the brother is willing?"
He originally had a good impression of Murong Yu, but at this time, he saw that Murong Yu was not leaking between his words, and he was extremely gentle, and he was even more satisfied with him, and faintly felt that he was a manufacturable material, so he directly put forward this request.
Murong Yu didn't know how to refuse, but Yang Mi stepped forward with a smile on his face at this time and said, "Since the little brother needs to think about it, General Zhang doesn't have to be in a hurry, it's not too late to let the little brother think about it slowly." After a pause, he continued, "I don't know what the name of the little brother is, where does he live, and where does the master come from?" He was also quite satisfied with Murong Yu's performance, and he also wanted to know some news about Murong Yu and others.
"This Murong Yu is from Shuzhong. Murong Yu did not hide his true identity, and even said to everyone, "This is my cousin Tang Tang, from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong. ”
"What, he turned out to be a disciple of the Tang Sect?" Not only Yang Mi, but even everyone present was extremely shocked when they heard this, and they all talked about it one after another.
"Now Yang Qi, the brothers call me Brother Yang on weekdays. Yang Mi said with a smile, "If you don't mind, little brother, you can also call me Brother Yang." ”
"You are the Great Sage Heavenly King Yang Qi, the prime minister of the Great Chu State. Before Murong Yu could speak, Tang Tang said in surprise.
Yang Mi sighed and said suspiciously, "Little brother actually knows the old man?" Obviously, this result surprised him.
Tang Tang said loudly, "The prestige of the Great Sage Heavenly King Yang Mi, who in the world doesn't know, and who doesn't know. If such a person really exists, I am afraid that he will either be deaf or blind. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. Although, I am far away in the Tang Gate in Shuzhong, but I also know the name of Xiangye, not to mention Yang Xiangye's wanted list, but it is worth 100,000 taels of gold, and the existence of the official seal of the five products. At that time, I was still thinking about when I would have the opportunity to personally capture Yang Xiangye and go to the court to seek an official position. It's just that the tone paused, but he didn't continue.
"Little brother, this is your fault, when it comes to the critical time, I won't say it, it's really a bit appetizing. Zhang Mengxian said with a smile.
Tang Tang smiled slightly, and hurriedly spoke, but he no longer concealed it, "It's just that I didn't expect Yang Xiangye to be so young, it's really a little surprising." It seems that the group of eagle dogs in the imperial court did not draw the true face of Yang Xiangye, but they deliberately slandered Yang Xiangye. ”
"The little brother is really good at talking, he is worthy of being a child of the Tang family, and he really has the demeanor of everyone. Yang Qi said, "Shuzhong is thousands of miles away from here, I don't know how you got here?"
"It's a bit embarrassing to talk about the reason for this incident, because the reason why our three brothers came here today is really forced by the situation! It is also the result of completely unacceptable results. Murong Yu said slowly.
"As a last resort?" Yang Mi heard him say this, and his curiosity became a little heavier, "Why is this?"
"The younger generation inadvertently offended the Kunlun forces, who knew that the Kunlun faction and the court officials united, put the younger generation in prison, locked the pipa bones of the younger generation, framed the younger generation for killing people and taking money, and ruined the cultivation of the younger generation. Murong Yu said in a low voice, "Fortunately, God has mercy, fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the Tang family, the younger generation has the opportunity to escape from Shuzhong and meet these strange people here." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and ripped off his clothes, and the ugly pipa bone scars were imprinted in everyone's eyes, which made people cry and couldn't help but feel sad.
I saw that a twisted scar appeared on Murong Yu's white shoulders.
On each side of the collarbone, there are three deep marks, as if they have been pierced by a sharp blade.
The wound has long healed, but the shallow scar will never be erased, and the appearance of teeth and claws seems to remind everyone of everything in the past.
Murong Yu felt the familiar soreness in his arms, and for a while, he couldn't help but think about it, but he couldn't rise to hatred in his heart.
Even though Yang Qi was well-informed, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and in an instant, he increased his trust in Murong Yu's words.
Zhang Mengxian hurriedly stepped forward, helped Murong Yu sort out his clothes, and said, "Brother Murong, what are you doing! Don't worry, this Dongting Lake will be your home in the future, and the brothers here are all your family." In the future, you will be my brother of Lao Zhang, as long as there is a day when my Lao Zhang is here, my Lao Zhang will definitely protect you for a day. ”
Then he said, "Besides, isn't it just a pipa bone lock? I won't tell you, let me tell you, as long as the emperor nods and agrees, let Doctor Li help you diagnose and treat it, no matter what illness you have, it will be a piece of cake. I think you agreed to stay and join our Great Chu Kingdom! Besides, you don't have anywhere else to go at the moment, and now you are fighting more and more, so it is better to stay here first, at least have a place to stay, as for other things, you are planning in the future, you see how it goes. ”
"In that case, I'll agree first, but explain in advance that I don't want to do anything that hurts nature. Murong Yu said solemnly, although these words were extremely inconsistent with his age.
"Little brother, don't worry, the people of Dongting are all from poor backgrounds, where will they do anything hurtful. The emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair walked down, "I want you to promise that I, the people of Great Chu, will never be as shameless as the Song Dynasty and regard the people as fish and meat." ”
As soon as the words fell, the shouts of a group of ministers sounded in the hall, "Long live the Great Chu State, the emperor is benevolent and kind, long live long live." ”
When Yang Qi and the others saw the emperor walking down, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
The emperor waved his hand, walked up to Murong Yu and continued, "Human nature is good at the beginning, and there are a few real wicked people in this world, if the world is rich, everyone can afford to eat." Where else is there anyone who is willing to revolt and rebel, and the reason why they have ended up at this point is not because they have been damaged by the atmosphere of the world and forced to do helpless. Just like today's imperial court, the incompetence of the emperor, corrupt officials, and treacherous ministers are rampant, which will lead to the fact that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are becoming more and more fragile, the map is getting smaller and smaller, and the wars are endless. If I am the whole Song Dynasty, how can there be anything to do with Jin Bing. ”
After a pause, he continued, "We brothers used to be good citizens who worked at home and farmed, and every day rose and sunset, even if we really had the heart to go forward and kill the enemy, it was unimaginable. Now, with me coming to this cave court, I organized a righteous army to resist tyranny, and lived a precarious life, and even ended up with the money that I could not even bury my bones. No one said that they regretted it, and it was not because the court was too corrupt and incurable, so I could only choose to save myself, which was also the only way to go and the only choice. ”
When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.
